RESURRECTION

By Llewellyn A. Morrison

By Llewellyn A. Morrison
O, the fragrance of the May-time, When the bursting buds are breaking Through the coverts that encased them From the winter and the wind! Sunlight, showers, trill of song-birds, Breath of zephyrs, are awaking All the odorous balm and blessing By mute Nature's heart refined.
When the fading leaves in autumn Close their eyes and fall on slumber, Then the fairy foldings follow In their robes of green and gold. It is God's abiding promise (He remembers well the number) Of a wondrous resurrection— And forever, as of old.
O, the blossom and the blooming! O, the vernal wealth of splendor! Such a brightness and a sweetness As no heart may comprehend! All the earth, new-robed, rejoices In the sunshine, warm and tender, In her resurrection glories, Without measure and no end.
